Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a very controversial move that could have been very bad luck. Harry revealed in his memoir that the couple announced their first pregnancy at Princess Eugenie’s wedding – something that is normally considered a huge no-no.
Writing his book, Harry explained how they had delayed their departure for a royal tour to go to Princess Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank.
He added that the event was a good opportunity for them to pull members of their family to the side to tell them one by one the good news.
Harry later revealed where and when he had told King Charles about how he was once again going to become a grandfather.
Prince Harry wrote: “Euge was getting married, to Jack, and we were deliriously happy for them and for ourselves, selfishly, since Jack was one of our favourite people.
“Meg and I were supposed to head off on our first official foreign tour as a married couple, but we delayed the departure several days, so we could be at the wedding. Also, the various gatherings connected to the wedding would give us a chance to pull aside family members one by one and tell them our good news.”
He added that he told King Charles the good news at “Windsor, just before a drinks reception for the bride and groom”.
Harry said the future King was “delighted to learn that he was going to be a grandfather for a fourth time” after the births of Prince William’s three children.
Prince Harry has remained very private about his own children Prince Archie Harrison and Princess Lilibet Diana since moving to the USA with Meghan.
One commentator has claimed that the couple is aiming to give their children a “more relaxed and laid back” upbringing.
Speaking to GB news style expert Bella Hignett said: “Archie and Lilibet will still have to have a modicum of restraint when dressing. But they will be far less formal.
“This will be exacerbated by growing up in California where dress is much more relaxed and laid-back.”
Ms Hignett added: “The climate and the fact they won’t have to attend as many formal events means the dress code in general will be more casual.”
While Prince Archie and Princess Lillibet have been brought up in the USA, there is a possibility they could move back to the UK with their parents.
Speaking to GB News, royal commentator Michael Cole said their absence from the UK was negatively affecting the monarch. He claimed: “[Charles] loves his children, he loves his grandchildren, he loves his godchildren.
“The fact he does not see them [Archie and Lilibet] and that is not his wish, will be very upsetting to him. It will be a long time before Prince Harry returns to the country with his children.”
